BALLOONS LIKE UP, CUPCAKE WARS, AND CHEAP THRILLS

Hope you all spent the long weekend well- and had a chance to get outside! It was cold & rainy here the whole weekend, but I saw on Instagram some of you had some nice sunny weather (jealous).

Here's what's been going on lately:

The company I work for recently celebrated it's 50th year in business, so naturally they threw a big old party. Here's them setting up in the atrium with hundreds of balloons (looks like UP, right??):

What kind of party did they throw, you ask? A CUPCAKE PARTY. Or rather, Cupcake Wars.

A bunch of employees submitted recipes- and over 60 across the company's 3 locations were allowed to make 50+ cupcakes to compete. I mean, you all know me well enough by now that you know I entered, right!?!

I threw my salted caramel chocolate cupcakes in the ring and ended up winning one of the 3 prizes! Woo hoo!

I'll be sharing the recipe for those on the blog tomorrow... but here's a sneak peek for ya. Hungry yet??

I took a little time this weekend to do some summer shopping, and hit the jackpot at Forever21. I tell ya, if you take the time to weed through the crap at that store, you really can find some good stuff!

So while I like having plenty of alone time, after living with Michael for the last couple years..I've become a total wimp staying home alone for a long period of time. Yes, go ahead and make fun of me, it's fine. I'm 25 and a baby. Michael was gone for 5 days camping up north MN without any service...and with it being a holiday weekend no.one.was.in.town. Gah. I may or may not have double locked and barricaded the door with a chair #oopsfirehazard.

Luckily I'm dating one cool dude who knew I'd be bummed out being in town alone, and did a few things to make me feel better, including a whole lotta flowers and Pitch Perfect (yes I'm a nerd).

It does look like UP! I watched that movie for the first time last week and totally bawled like a baby (sort of embarrassing, but whatever). Those notes are the SWEETEST. You got yourself a good one, lady ;)
